Mine is in hand and I must say this is the nicest Tain I have had. Phenomenal machining.

Neale, yes, there is a hole for a split ring. Hangs well in the pocket with one of those pocket danglers.

So what color trits have you all chosen? I'm not too sure about what I picked.

This is a fantastic light. Just a quick head shot of mine and a couple friends.

This was hard for me as well. Check out the Tain tribute thread for some ideas.
Here's mine

Hey Eala, what are the levels like on this one? Any lumem estimates?

 

[RUSH FAN]

Thanks for posting Eala!

About what you would expect given the drive currents. I am not that good at estimating the lumens. The medium and high look relatively close to each other, but minor niggle.

Yellow and blue alternating around the tail. Yellow below blue on the switch.

Nice to see an AA light model.

Invoice received and paid.

I ordered the Nichia 219, and for tritium I went with green, purple, purple repeating. For the switch I got 3 purple lower and 3 green upper. I'm definitely looking forward to getting this flashlight in my hands!

 

[Tain]

I have a question.

trit colors in the switch button
ex: top layer: blue, bottom layer: white; (or 3 white, if you want 3 trits switch button)

Suppose I want a six trit button with no trits in it?

Are the buttons different?

The buttons are different. If you want 6 trit button without trits, please write the in the form.
I see you already fill up the form, please put a note when you sent the paypal.

I went with the green under the lens.
All green around the tail.
In the button I went with 3 yellow on the lower
3 green on the upper.

Always been fond of green trits...lol

 

[jimbogregs]

Red and green on one, ice blue and white on the other!

Estimates based on Nichia 219B data sheet with 25% losses due to reflector and lens.

3.5 lumens
70 lumens
170 lumens

Does that sound about right? Would a clip fit on this?

I don't believe a clip would fit. The cigar grip gets in the way. I tried dry fitting a spare nitcore clip and it didn't fit properly.

 

[eala]

Imagine there is not cigar grip, and instead, the tail was tapped for a clip. Would make a nice accessory for this light - a tail that is tapped for a clip so that you could swap around.

A McGizmo clip would work nicely.

Welcome to the forum, Ben! What a great way to get into custom lights by diving head first into one of the best!
